I have both and Virtuozzo has
less overhead then Xen. It is the reverse. I use XEN because I need to
virtualize Windows along with Linux. But rest assured, OpenVZ and Virtuozzo are
one or several steps ahead. The management tools are far more sophisticated in
Virtuozzo and the support is amazing, it cannot be compared.

Hi Rob,
Basically there’s 2 reasons why I’m
looking at Xen:
1. Cost of licencing for Virtuozzo which
is based on how many CPUs etc.
2. Xen has better IO performance
compared to Virtuozzo. It’s been shown on a few forums that Xen can have 3
times the disk IO performance.
Does anyone have any answers to my
original questions?
Regards,
Alan

I'm curious about your shift from
Virtuozzo: is that because you needed
something other than Virtuozzo does? or
because Virtuozzo proved to be
ineffective in some way?
I'm asking because I'm being urged to
work with Virtuozzo, and wanted to
know if there were some pitfalls in
using it that were evident in
people's experiences with it.
Appreciate any thoughts you can share.
